What is the best way to report a bug to a GitHub project?

Suppose you'd like to work with a project on GitHub, but you don't have write access to the project. What can you do to contribute?

• Fork the project's repository to your GitHub account, clone the forked repository to your local machine, push changes to your repository, and submit a pull request to the target (upstream) repository.

• Clone the project to your local machine and push updates directly to the project repository.

• Use git commands to make a copy of the project so that you can work locally. Submit an issue to get your changes into the target repository.

• None of these

Suppose you created a bug fix on a new branch and want it to become part of the next production build generated from the main branch. What should you do next?

• Copy your branch changes and commit them directly to the main branch.

• b. Create a pull request to merge your new branch into the main branch.

• On second thought, maybe I won't share this fix. I'll just put it in my own private version of the source code.
